The AVCA's preseason top 10 sand volleyball rankings reflected the respect Nebraska's sand program has received despite not playing a match on the beach until next week.
The ratings also make it official the Huskers will face most of the nation's top beach clubs in NU's inaugural season.
Nebraska, which checked in at No. 9 in the preseason poll released Monday, will face the top six teams in the country during its first beach season from March 14 to 22 at sites in southern California.

Nebraska is the only snow-covered locale in the Top 10.

Just how many teams are there that play sand volleyball?

If its 12, then the #9 ranking is a little less impressive.
